I didn't say it's not your job to investigate a group you may want to support, I said it's not your job to figure out what a group stands for, that's their job. So if I see "defund police" and I think it means eliminate police departments and think "that's stupid" and move along. Now if I see Antifa, and think, hmmm anti-fascist sounds like a good thing, then I will look more into them.
In that instance then you (universal "you" throughout) should stop talking about it.
If you go off that initial "thought" and then don't do any more research then you shouldn't talk about it at all.
If you DO talk about it, if you respond with "I think that's stupid" and someone explains it to you then it is on you to either understand or refute the information.
Failure to do so is remaining willfully ignorant based on one thought to one phrase one time.
This thread is an example of that. Someone says one thing happened one time, someone else explains what happened around that and that one, misunderstood incident isn't the meaning behind the entire movement but that someone keeps going back and ignoring any other information other than what "they believe".

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
